Kerdi flush with wall. Can I just put a layer of drywall paper over it?

Kerdi flush with wall. Can I just put a layer of drywall paper over it?

The middle part (only) is flush with the wall. I'm thinking of putting a layer of drywall paper over it and then mud. Will it work or do I need something else to protect the kerdi board?

EDIT: I'll learn my lesson one day to give Reddit all the backstory. 😂 This is a storage room, there is a bathroom on the other side. We're looking at the back of a shower niche. There is a single piece of kerdi under that second layer, that's the back of the niche. My guess is he added that second layer to imitate the missing wall behind and ensure it's all flush. I probably could try to remove it, but since I can mud over it apparently, I'll do that.

Bought those in St Leon's. Can they stay indoors in those pots until end of May or should I move them to bigger containers asap?

Basil, strawberry, tomato, rosemary and mint. Based on research it sounds like they won't be ready to be outside until end of May. I was thinking of using a grow light for 6 or 12 hours until then. Can I leave them in those pots for now? Thanks so much for all the advice.

The caulk (though it looks more like glue) in the kitchen (quartz counters) looks awful and I've been trying to replace it but the removal proves to be quite challenging. The caulk goes deep in between the wall and the counter. Im not sure how to remove it completely and without damaging the wall ☹️ I used that spray I attached photo of, and it helped, but not enough.

I have a lot of very well established and large hostas in my garden and I am hoping to move them around this year. I am wondering when the best time would be.

When googled, the answer was: "Early Spring (Best Time - Late April/Early May): As soon as the "pips" or shoots emerge from the ground (around 1-2 in tall) and the soil is workable."

Does that sound right? Is there anything else I should or should not do when repotting them? Would I fertlize the garden after the hostas are in the new place or does it not matter? I was planning on fertilizing it early/mid-May.

I know nothing about gardening and I am terrified or ruining what the previous owners have left us 😄
